Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law. 44(65), 103-132http://hdl.handle.net/10566/4891When women’s lives are cut short or incapacitated as a result of pregnancy or childbirth, the tragedy cascades. Children lose a parent. Spouses lose a partner. And societies lose productive contributors ... And as long as women remain disadvantaged in their societies, maternal and new-born health will suffer as well. But if we can empower women with the tools to take control of their lives, we can create a more supportive environment for women and children alike.enSubstantive equalityMaternal mortalityAfricaNigeriaArticle
